#1 Perhaps the Central Command Inspector General could use some outside assistance. Please make a few SES parking spots, desks. secure phones, and NIPR/SIPR laptops available sometime in the Jan-Feb time frame. Badges and access to the Mole Hole as well please. Nothing left to chance. Three to six months is all that should be necessary. Yes, weekly reporting to the CG, new DnI and Attorney General.

No Inter-Agency transfers or PCS's, retirements, or terminations of anyone above the rank or equivalent pay grade of 03 until this is fully concluded. Please everyone, just stick around for a bit if you would.

When the 'assistance team' is finished in Tampa, they'll be moving on to Washington D.C. and IRS headquarters. Following that, possibly Foggy Bottom and the VA. The list appears to be endless.

#2 Lousy reporting. One must go more than a dozen paragraphs down before discovering the 'who' that governs the proceeding:
"Stewart is appealing that decision to the United States Merit System Protection Board, a quasi-judicial agency in which federal employees suspended more than 14 days can appeal their cases."

As for the hearing itself, we can guess the outcome:
"The board is supposed to be independent, but the statistics suggest otherwise. It has found in favor of the Defense Department in 99.7 percent of cases put before it, according to the latest statistics."

#3 "The board is supposed to be independent, but the statistics suggest otherwise."

Ever hear of the saying "live by the documentation, die by the documentation"?
